TRAINING & EVENTS | TOPICS

An inclusive course design requires attention to the selection of course materials, your teaching methods, and the ways you ask students to demonstrate their learning. In this interactive workshop, we will provide strategies for building a diverse, equitable, and inclusive course using the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL). UDL is a framework that empowers students from diverse backgrounds to actively participate in their courses and more effectively interpret and apply their learning in a collaborative setting.

Alignment is the intentional connection between course outcomes, learning objectives, assessments, activities, and materials. Course alignment builds a strong cohesive framework; helps ensure that both you and your students have accurate expectations about what will be taught in your course; and that students are practicing and demonstrating the skills you want them to learn.
